OUR mission statement

MADE ON THE LEFT was founded in 2008 by independent designers to support Western Australian creative talent. We hold bi-annual handmade craft markets to showcase local designers.

Being on the left hand side of Australia no longer

means you'll be at a disadvantage.

Our aim is to support all creative designers and events showcasing independent labels. MOTL is a not-for-profit, non-partisan organisation. You may wonder why we promote other markets besides MOTL; it’s because it’s not about us, its about you; the buyers and sellers of indie wares. Here at the blog, you’ll discover up to date information about our latest market, the low-down on some of Perth’s emerging talents, other opportunities for artists and designers and a little bit of fun stuff too. It’s all right here… welcome!

Poster for our 2010 Winter Market!

Hello Everyone!

Today is our "launch day" for the new July Market Poster image. As always, we have commissioned an up-and-coming Made on the Left illustrator who takes part in our markets to design something that really sums up what Made on the Left is, all in an awesome drawing.

This time around, we enlisted the help of Samantha Hughes! Keep your ears to the ground for an "about the artist" post later next week.

Arn't they adorable yetis? Look at their little crafty bags and knitted scarves!

Big thanks to Samantha for her hard work, and also to our sponsors for advertising, venue and printing; City of Stirling, Etsy, and The Saint Hotel.
